Consider the exceptional apprenticeship opportunities offered by b.LUXE Hair and Makeup Studio in Medway, MA.

As the state's top Google-rated salon and a two-time Salon Today 200 Honoree, b.LUXE is renowned for its commitment to excellence in the beauty industry. In collaboration with the Massachusetts State Board of Cosmetology, b.LUXE is now opening its doors to the next generation of beauty experts through its apprenticeship program, designed to provide hands-on experience, top-tier education, and an accelerated path to licensure.

The Apprenticeship Advantage

b.LUXE Hair and Makeup Studio, owned by industry veteran Heather Cohen, is more than just a salon. It's a training ground for future beauty professionals. "I work closely with our apprentices to ensure they receive a complete education that builds off what they’ve learned from cosmetology school. We employ a director of cutting, Sandra Wilkey, and a director of color education, Andrea Rees, to further mentor our apprentices and junior stylists. Our staff is also incredibly supportive, and work as a team to bring the next generation through successfully," Heather explains.

“Early in my career, a well-known Boston salon owner took me under their wing and shared their talent and business knowledge. I received such well-rounded training. I love sharing what I learned.” The studio offers comprehensive apprenticeship programs in collaboration with the Massachusetts State Board of Cosmetology. These programs allow participants to gain real-world experience, refine their skills, and earn up to 400 hours towards their 1,000-hour licensure requirements while still in school.

The b.LUXE Apprenticeship Program caters to the education and career of future cosmetologists, providing three distinct paths to success.
